Here we go, a Kauri Tree of Mindfulness from ancient Persia first (1:25) and then it's full on into the 1332 Hot Takes as the Blackcaps' World T20 preparation and Joseph Parker's latest fight are on the plate (6:05). Vitamin Stats serves up some All Whites absences and Isaiah Papali'i's breakout season with the Parra Eels (15:52) and then we go Deep in the Mangroves to find some National League football coallescence and bounce back finals games from Morgan Harper & James Fisher-Harris (21:25). And Question Time delivers some Blackcaps in Pakistan thoughts (31:09). Chuck in some Musical Jams (35:53) and that's the business.

She's an open-ended chat today on the pod, starting with some ideas of how the All Blacks and Melbourne Storm happen to parallel (5:14) and then sliding into a preview of the second week of NRL finals with that kiwi eye (16:15). Next up we chat Blackcaps in Pakistan with Tim Seifert being a major focus (34:18) and then to finish it's a couple thoughts on Sean Marks and Steven Adams in the NBA (50:41). Get amongst it.

Getting right at it with a Dose of Mindfulness from the garden (1:22) and then it's 1332 Hot Take time as Sean Marks' underratedness and Finn Allen's slugger status (3:57). Vitamin Stats serve up some Flying Kiwis Champions League history and James Fisher-Harris trends (12:58) while Deep In The Mangroves offers up some Welly Nix Women's squad thoughts and some ongoing Warriors/Redcliffe links (21:55). After which there are Questions about the Blackcaps World T20 squad and the world's best footballers (34:07) before we close out with some musical Jams recommendations (47:06). Swish.

Served up a whopper today with all this, beginning with an Unraveling Fern of Mindfulness (2:03) and swiftly moving on to some Blackcaps in Bangladesh chat after the fourth T20 (5:41). Naturally we've gotta preview that White Ferns decider vs England (21:22) and then it's a deep dive on some Flying Kiwis footy with Ria Percival sparking a chat on hard-working midfielders (26:13). Then it's time to go game by game through week one of the NRL Finals, obviously with that kiwi focus as always (46:33). Might be a word or two on the Warriors in there as well. Go on.

Giving it the Variety treatment as always, we've got a Burger of Mindfulness to get us into the spirit (1:23) and then it's onto the 1332 Hot Takes where the Welly Nix Women's team get some focus as well as the best top-8 and bottom-8 Kiwi NRL clubs (4:30). There are a pair of Blackcaps flavoured Vitamin Stats with Colin De Grandhomme and Finn Allen in the spotlight (12:40) and then straight into double Question Time where we talk the new Football Ferns coach, Kiwi NRL Finals MVP predictions, Blackcaps breakthroughs, and White Ferns victory (19:32)... and of course there are musical Jams to finish (32:18). Booyakasha.

Rolling through the good yarns here, beginning with a dose of Blackcaps & White Ferns after a pair of crap results overnight (3:48). Talked a lot more about that in our Patreon-only episode too, just quietly. Then it's some Kiwi NRL chat ahead of the final round of the regular season (9:58) before getting into some recruitment strategy comparisons between the Breakers and the Phoenix (16:38). Chuck in some wider Welly Nix offseason thoughts (27:33) and some brief Flying Kiwis Transfer Deadline Day talk (50:17) and you've got yourself a podcast episode, friend.

Back to the standard Variety Show spectacular this week, starting with a Lawn-Mower Catcher of Mindfulness (1:50) and then ripping on into some 1332 Hot Takes about the Breakers coaching situation and the White Ferns in England (3:22). Vitamin Stats dishes up on Chris Wood's penalty prowess and Tim Seifert's strike-rates (10:59) before we go Deep in the Mangroves on the familiar topics of Flying Kiwis Transfer Season and Kiwi NRL debutants (21:39). Question Time means Blackcaps ponderings (42:17) and of course there are the musical Jams to close (51:05). Get right on in there, don't be shy.

Things have been popping off lately with Aotearoa's finest footballers so here's forty-odd minutes of us talking about them. From Sarpreet Singh's exploits (and his gym regime) to Abby Erceg's ongoing GOAT status to Chris Wood & Burnley's fortunes and beyond.

Doing things a little different this week to mix it up, here's a chat we had specifically about rugby league. Going game by game through the weekend's action talking about the major kiwi storylines for each game. Anthony Bourdain makes an appearance too for some reason.

Going wider scope than the usual Monday Variety Show here, chatting through the various sports that we're still able to cover during lockdown. Starting with a pair of fascinating (and perhaps watershed) cricket tours with the Blackcaps & White Ferns about to roll the arm over in Bangladesh/England (3:38). There's a bit of context around old mate Sarpreet Singh on the Flying Kiwis football beat (12:13) and then we whip through a few quicker hits with Lydia Ko, Tom Walsh, Genah Fabian, and Paul Coll all mentioned (24:26). Then to close it's a chunk of Kiwi NRL goodness from a tight top eight race to the veteran greatness of Jesse Bromwich and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (36:26). Good chat, get amongst.
